  • Grid placement in lithium ion bi-cell counter electrodes
    Patent number: 6291097
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery design for bi-cell polymer matrix batteries. Each bi-cell comprises, sequentially, a first counter electrode, a first separator membrane, a centrally located electrode, a second separator membrane, and a second counter electrode. The current collector of each of the counter electrodes is positioned other than medially within the counter electrode. Generally, the current collector of the counter electrode is located within the outer half of the counter electrode. When the current collector is located at the extreme outer edge of the counter electrode, a capping film of polymer matrix material is preferably laminated to the perforated current collector, and, through the perforated current collector, to the counter electrode material itself.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2001
    Assignees: Valence Technology, Inc., Delphi Technologies, Inc.
